How Much Toilet Paper Do You Think Your Household Uses In a Month?

It seems like I'm always putting a fresh roll on the toilet paper dispenser.
There's just 2 people in our household.
Hubby and I each have our own separate bathrooms. Therefore, I'm not really sure how much toilet paper he uses. And of course men have different plumbing and I'm not really sure if men use toilet paper for peeing. I just don't know.
But we buy toilet paper in a large "brick" in bulk from Sam's Club. 48 rolls I think. It takes us about 2 months to go through 48 rolls. So that's about 24 rolls a month which is 3/4 of a roll per day?
What's your toilet paper consumption look like?

With just Pretty and I, we use about 8 to 10 rolls of TP a month... I'm the one who puts paper in there when it gets low.

@porwest We don't store the TP in the bathroom. The bathroom is small so there's no room to store more in there. We keep it on the standalone closet for the towels and washcloths right outside the bathroom door. I set a new roll on the back of the stool when it's getting low or replace it if Pretty used the last without changing out the roll.
I told Pretty it was just as easy for her to put the seat down if I've left it up as it was for me to put it back up when she was done using the bathroom...

@porwest @DaddyEvil which is why hubby and I each have our own bathrooms.

@looeyville Thanks for raising this burning issue. For a long time now I have lived in a female dominated home. Once my sons moved out I was left at the mercy of a wife and 3 daughters - a bevvy of 4 beautiful, toilet paper guzzling girls. Now we are 3 - one male and two toilet paper addicts. Now I don’t know what all goes on in there nor do I wish to, but come on ladies - a roll every day?

@LooeyVille Now these little necessities are the things that make life peachy - if you get them right. Good quality toilet paper is a must. I bought some today and got Avios points - of which I now have 230780 with which I can buy flights with BA and several other airlines.

Not that much. I use more wet wipes than toilet paper. I can go through a couple of packages a week. And be sure not to flush your wet wipes!!!

We get our "big" stash of toilet paper at Sams Club too. I have 2 & 1/2 baths so roughly I would say we go through about the same as you give or take an extra week or two.
For something that only takes seconds to do why is changing the toilet paper a pain in the neck
